Child, Adolescent and Adult Counselor. Providing play therapy, sand tray therapy, Reality/Choice Therapy.

I have been in the field of wilderness therapy since 2004, working with people struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, family and identity issues. Through this work, I found that I care deeply about helping people connect with themselves, other people, and the world around them. Inspired by working in small groups in an outdoor setting, my work with clients in the office is very experientially based. I draw strongly from Gestalt and Hakomi, both of which are relational, body-centered, here-and-now oriented therapies. As a therapist, I provide my clients with a space to mindfully explore their inner world, approach difficult or painful experiences with compassion, and practice enacting new ways of being. Ultimately, I believe that therapy is an enlivening process, where we gain greater awareness, and thus, greater ability to choose how we relate to ourselves and the world.

I have a private practice in downtown Longmont where I work primarily with adoptive families. Through attachment-based play therapy, parent / couple's therapy, or coaching services, I join with families in their efforts to rekindle a sense of joy, fulfillment and playfulness in their relationships. As an adoptive parent myself, I'm able to bring a depth of understanding and compassion to my work with families. This enhances my capacity to attune and build the trust that's essential for emotional safety and positive change. I maintain both the LMFT and LPC licenses in CO & CA. I am also a RPT-S, which allows me to provide clinical supervision for clinicians who are working toward their RPT credential. I also provide tele-health services in CA & CO, teaching parenting practices, as well as individual & couples counseling & supervision.
